Default Jacking up Heritage

Got a 1" under kickstand since lowering the bike 1" in front. I bought the Harbor Freight jack but it won't go under the frame. Does anyone make a small ramp to get the bike high enough to get a jack under it? Tried rolling it up on a 2x4 and still not enough clearance. Thanks in advance for any help!

I put mine on a 2x4 and then have to stand the bike straight up. It won't go under with the bike leaning over. If you don't think you can hold the bike up put a board under the kick stand or use a strap or two and tie it up right. I use my shop bench and a wall stud and long ratchet straps

There are much better jacks that start lower. HF is junk. When I tried to use one, I had to put 2x4 under both front and back. Not worth it.
